20 year old Oriole farmhand Jackson Holiday is considered the number one prospect in professional baseball. He flashes four tools but his arm is considered below MLB average.
"In his month at Triple-A Norfolk to end the 2023 season, Holliday averaged 78.4 mph on his throws from shortstop, as tracked by MLB Statcast. His fastest throw on any play in the infield was 83.1 mph. The league average for MLB shortstops was 86.3 mph, according to Statcast."
There are a couple of college shortstops in the PAC-12 that are in the 85-86 mph vicinity. The Beavers have a guy playing 3B that routinely ticked up 92 mph while a HS Senior at JSerra HS in California. Beaver fans witnessed that infield velocity on his play made from deep on the line and the missile across the diamond that lit Guerra's glove on fire.
Director of Scouting: "has he got a hose?"
Area Scout: " He can burn the leather!"
